math.random

[SkrillexX]

Anyone could tell me what's the purpose from using math.random ? is it to choose any random number ?

[Karuzo]

Yes, but not only for numbers.

You could use variables too.

[SkrillexX]

What about the syntax or the appropriate use of math.random ?

[Karuzo]

For example , you want to give a random number between lets say 100 and 500

Than you just use

  
math.random(100,500)

math.random generates a pseudo-random number based on a seed, which just in case you can change by calling math.randomseed, in a specified range. There's no single use for it.

Yep. It also works for functions, tables etc.

You can use math.random from picking up any number, variables, tables or any random thing and here is usage >

math.random ( randomFrom, randomTo ) 

it will pick up any variable, number, table from what u wrote.
